G20

Viola Davis is the dealmaker. Sure, she brings an extra dimension of emotional truth and groundedness to the character, but it’s not just that. It’s also what Sutton symbolises.

Yep, we’re deep into fantasy territory with this preposterous, dumb-as-rocks action picture. Redeeming it slightly is the consistently impressive Viola Davis,

Not exactly a world leader in the action movie stakes – but entertaining enough, particularly thanks to Viola Davis. 

Unburdened by narrative logic, there is a joie de vivre in the way Davis, 59, throws men over her shoulder, elbows them in the face and sprays them with machine-gun fire.

Even though G20 presents itself as a fun, throwaway action movie, it's far too ponderous for its own good.

G20 is a deeply embarrassing misreading of the moment.

Takes itself far too seriously to be any fun, and yet remains too silly to be taken seriously.

Through each role, Davis reminds audiences—especially Black women of the power of our limitless being and the brilliance that unfolds when we fully step into it.

its debt to the Die Hard School of Spatially Contained Action Heroics is unavoidable, which makes it at times feel overly derivative

G20 is ultimately a feeble motion picture, delivering little in the way of thrills as it’s instead content to recycle familiar action beats from far superior films.
